Oh dear *GOD*, the PC crowd and the lamestream media make me laugh. They are pathetic, to say the least. I was told today by someone I barely know I should try to be more “PC” and “fit in”. They don’t like my political posts and/or views. So as the last working day of the year comes to a close, I offer this:

I will *perhaps* if they will … but don’t hold your breath on that.

I wish you a prosperous new year full of freedom and without government intervention, without censorship, without the thought police, and without the politically correct BS crowd.

(This was taken just 3 days ago at the Bridal Shower/Tea for my “baby girl”, Kara.)

It’s hard to believe that my baby girl is 25 years old as of today, New Years Eve. It seems to me like she should still be riding on my hip … or tagging along with her hand in mine … or yelling at her older brothers (she always was the one in charge, even though she was the youngest). She was a beautiful baby. She is a beautiful young woman. She’ll make a beautiful bride next July 4th.

Most importantly, she has a beautiful, kind, and loving spirit.

Happy birthday, baby girl! I am proud and honored to be your mother. I wish I could take credit for how wonderful you are, but it’s all you.

We’ve said this before, but the name-calling that the oh-so-liberal “progressives” and “tolerant” crowd (or so they all like to tell themselves they are) levels at those of us that think differently from them is nothing short of amazing.

There are a lot of beliefs people have that we don’t share, but it doesn’t make us belittle and/or insist that they must believe as we do and follow the thought-police party line. People that do this are far more bigoted and dangerous to freedoms than the people they attack.

Being truly “tolerant” means accepting everyone, even when you may disagree with them. It means allowing someone their right to free speech whether they believe like you do or not.

Guess what, Liberals, Progressives, and those self-proclaimed “Beautiful People” out there? That means, *YOU TOO*!!! Just because you choose to not believe what the Bible teaches or what Phil Robertson believes doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s called “diversity”. It’s called “difference in opinion”. It’s called “individualism”. You know … what all of you are so hot and bothered about attempting to enforce by shoving your beliefs down other people’s throats. Diversity and TOLERANCE is something that you need to learn first before you can tell anyone else what to do.

By the way … as a side note … we find people like the Robertsons that are true to themselves by far and away more beautiful than the Limousine Liberals can ever dream of being.

Quite honestly, we are proud of Phil Robertson. He, like us, doesn’t bend and sway with the political pendulum. He has his beliefs and STICKS TO THEM rather than changing them just to please someone who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about him otherwise. He stays true to himself, and we would be PROUD to be lucky enough to know him personally and call him a friend.

Just because he doesn’t believe the same way as another person, however, doesn’t mean he is leveling hate at them. The name-calling that he is enduring is by far more hateful than what he said. He merely disagrees with certain life choices and agrees with the Bible. It doesn’t mean he hates the person. That’s pretty clear to us, at least, but I guess A&E is too entrenched in Holly-Weird. A&E feels the need to sway with the political mores of the time rather than be true to MANY beliefs. It’s sad.

So we will end with this.

We have both always believed that the whole world can think we are wrong, but if *we* know we are right, well then, WE ARE RIGHT!

You know something? On this Christmas Eve, I am amazed by how many people think it’s best to “fit in” and “follow the crowd”. Why is this so? God made each of us to be a special being and to give our own special qualities to better the world and those around us. Being like the crowd and bending whichever way the cultural wind blows isn’t truly living life and giving of yourself. Don’t squelch your true soul. Let it shine and LIVE life. Be in the moment. What has being “PC” ever gotten anyone, other than a bland vanilla life?
